$1.7 billion order for Trent 1000 engines

Singapore Airlines has formally confirmed a $1.7 billion order for Trent 1000 engines to power 19 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft; these engines will be covered by Rolls-Royce’s (www.rolls-royce.com) TotalCare engine support service.

The order comes as the airline prepares for the entry into service of its first 787-10 aircraft powered by the latest version of the Trent 1000 — the Trent 1000 TEN.

In addition to the Trent 1000, which is currently operated by its subsidiary Scoot, Singapore Airlines also operates Trent XWB, Trent 900, Trent 800 and Trent 700 engines.
